"Some of us know how we came by our fortune, and some of us don't, but we wear it all the same. There's only one question worth asking now: How do we aim to live with it?" (9)
While reading this chapter, this quote, said by Orleanna really caught my eye because it's really similar to the essential questions of english II: What kind of world is this and how should we live in it? What she means by this is that people have both good things and bad things happen to them at times in their lives, but the important thing is what you learn and get from them, and how you use them to live your life. She says this as she reflects on her experiences in Africa and peoples habits of mind. The quote shows that the english II essential questions are questions that can be asked by anyone and everyone in this world.
